So I have this audition on Monday where I have to play 30 excerpts, and I basically want to quit the clarinet, or perhaps travel back to the days of Alberto Ginastera and kill him so he didn't write his stupid variations. There was also one excerpt on the list that I didn't know, and I still haven't gotten around to learning it. If they ask for it, I think I will just slip a note under the curtain that says "no thank you."
I played Mahler 1 the other day. It was amazing, despite a few spicy moments I had. Whatever, bad pitch is the spice of life.
I am taking a new world sub list audition tomorrow, and I still don't really know what I am playing on it. Bad life choices.
